Album:The Best Of The Nat King Cole Trio

Track:
I have long liked this song. Nat King Cole's trio was one of the high-points of American music. He would later scale greater commercial heights, I find his music of this era to be the most honest presentation of his vision. The silky smooth vocals of course, but the music! Ah the music!Tight, cool, & adventurous, like a well aged scotch, their communication sometimes bordered on telepathic. Nat's piano often took center stage, but not always. A very very young deadmandeadman fell in love with the guitar on this track, and has come back to it through the years for the smile.I do not argue the virtuosity of the playing from a technical standpoint, though it is impressive, just the overall ambience of the sound and how it completes the whole picture, locking evrything in place.
